Airbag Simulator for Toyota Sienna 90980-12697

Description

This dongle simulates the presence of an airbag when plugged into a 4th-generation Toyota Sienna (2021-), or any other Toyota that uses a 90980-12698 connector for SRS airbags. It has been tested with a 2021 Sienna, and your success may vary with a different vehicle. Inside it is a 2.2Ω resistor, which gets recognized “as an airbag” by the car. This gets rid of the airbag warning messages when the 2nd-row seats are removed.
You will need 2 dongles if removing 2 seats.
Positive Locking
The dongle imitates Toyota’s
90980-12697
male connector for perfect compatibility with the
90980-12698
female connector. It has positive-locking: push the connector in, and it will self-lock. It can only be pulled out when the female connector’s white tab is pressed. This design prevents accidental disconnections by children, vibrations, or clumsy handling.
Heat & UV Resistance
The dongle’s shell is 3D-printed from polycarbonate (PC), which is a strong and tough plastic that can endure high temperatures and UV radiation. These attributes make it durable for use in cars, including those parked outside in hot weather.
Spill Resistance
The dongle creates a watertight seal with the 90980-12698 female connector, protecting the connection from liquid ingress.
Convenient Ergonomics
The rear of the dongle has a knurled grip that makes it easy to grip and unplug without any tools. It is a convenient solution for people who frequently remove and reinstall the 2nd-row seats in the 4th-gen Sienna.
